Greek Chicken

This is an easy Greek chicken recipe that I make quickly on a weeknight, for a barbecue, or as an alternative to lamb on Greek Easter.

Chicken (drumsticks are best, but you could use wings or even breasts)
1 individual container of plain Greek yogurt
3 Tbsp Greek Seasoning (salt free)
minced garlic
onion powder
Open the container of yogurt and mix in the seasoning. Stir well. Baste the chicken on both sides with a brush. If baking, lay down on a baking dish sprayed with nonstick spray, or bring to the grill if grilling. Sprinkle the garlic and onion over the chicken.
Cook to your liking on the grill or in a 375 degree oven for about 45 minutes.

Hindsight: The yogurt will make the baked chicken appear undercooked. Cut open to check that it's done or use a meat thermometer. I baked mine in the oven, you might want to pre-grill them a bit first so that they don't appear this way if serving them to guests.
